Nikki Haley Under Fire for Retirement Age Comments

Haley Clarifies Her Stance Amid Criticisms from Trump and DeSantis

Nikki Haley, Republican presidential candidate, has been under scrutiny for her comments on the U.S. retirement age, which she has stated is 'way too low'.
Haley clarified that her proposal to raise the retirement age would only apply to younger generations and not current Social Security beneficiaries or those nearing retirement.
Former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Haley's rivals in the 2024 presidential campaign, have criticized her stance, with Trump claiming she wants to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Haley denied ever saying the retirement age is 'way too low' during a Fox News town hall, but was reminded of her previous comments in a Bloomberg interview.
Haley accused DeSantis of 'totally misrepresenting the facts' and lying about her stance due to his position in the campaign.
